THE FIRE.
Fire Company No. Q Again Incapaciateo
from Service Because the
Horses Are Away

Fire Company No. Again Incapaciateo
from Service Because the
Horses Are Away.
The fire department WAS called ont
yesterday to extinguish trIfling out
break OF fire In the old Grenet ware
house, corner Of Nacogdoches and
Crockett streets. The fire was quickly
extinguished without material damage.
The engine Of tire company No. 2
could NOS attend, because when the out
break occurred the horses were out
doing scsvenger work. This has oc-
Cured more than once and should be
stopped by the fire chief. The horses
are kept solely for the purposes OF max
ing fire company No. 2 do more efficient
service In the case of fire, and nothing
should be allowed to impede the object.
or course, the horses must be exercised,
but let this be done so that they are
within the easy call and can be had
when wanted. A good trot round
Travis park several times would answer
this purpose, and directly the alarm
rung they could be available for service.
Ii this Is not rectifled some day big
cOnflagratlOn may occur and the public
will demand a reckoning not only with
the fire department but the city com
Gil for permitting such folly.

A Cood Ward for Catn.

HAvRE De GRACE Nd, Dec. 5.-This little
city is very much excited. The Oxford Lit
crary Society invited Thomas c. Weeks,
Labor statistician of Maryland, to deliver
lecture before it in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Weeks Is radical and labor
orator, and he holds his present position,
which Is n practical sinecurc, as reward for
his magniloquent campaign speeches. He
accepted the socicty's invitation and spoke
on "Dloral Progress" He pleased the audi
encc at first, but as he proceeded uncnsiness
increased among the church members. He
driltcd into rank inildelity, telling his hearers
that everything resulted from accident In
this world, and that without sin there could
have been no progress. He even went so
far rs to say, II think u great good was ac-
complishcd by Cain" The pastor of the
church occupied n front seat, and all the
leading members. were present. The ailnir
created decided sensation, and II is not at
all likely that Weeks will ever be asked to
make speech in this town again.
